The track climbs to #1 on this weekend’s Top 40 radio update, while also remaining atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. One of last week’s debuts from Conan Gray is now the Biggest Mover this time around, as “Overdrive” lifts from 40-34. P!nk and her 9-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart have the Highest Debut of the week at #39 with “Cover Me In Sunshine”, which is beginning to pick up some airplay at the Hot AC format in both the U.S. and Canada, while The Strumbellas enter at #40 with the CanCon-approved “Greatest Enemy”.

Chart Notes:

• Olivia Rodrigo claims her first #1 song on my personal chart with “Driver’s License”, rising from 3-1. It’s already topped the Billboard Hot 100 survey and looks to be one of the early favorites for the best-performing single of the year. Dua Lipa blasts from 34-22 with this week’s Biggest Mover in the countdown, “We’re Good”. Newcomer Anson Seabra has the Highest Debut at #39 with “Walked Through Hell”, as a new song from Conan Gray sneaks in at #40. “Overdrive” is his third top 40 entry to date.
